Design Mania

For me, September always seems more like the New Year than January 1st itself. Something about the transition from sizzling summer to crisp fall is enough impetus to start over: try a new haircut, go on a wallet-busting shopping trip, or my personal favorite, redecorate! Nothing like a new season to change up your room, apartment, or house.

If you’re lacking inspiration, check out Design*Sponge, a site dedicated to all things home, from DIY instructions – make your own shelves and chandeliers – to product guides that’ll show you how to get a look on the cheap. My favorite section is the Sneak Peeks, which feature the coolest looking homes and apartments from LA to NYC and everywhere in between. If you need the push to re-paint your bedroom or try your hand at sewing pillow shams, Design*Sponge offers posts on the daily.
